The fine structure of sublingual gland acinar cells of the Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus, processed by rapid freezing followed by freeze-substitution fixation.

We compare the ultrastructure of the gerbil sublingual gland as seen after cryofixation followed by substitution with osmium tetroxide, with the more familiar appearance of material processed by glutaraldehyde-osmium chemical fixation. After primary cryofixation of fresh salivary glands, the nuclei of the mucous cells are found to be spherical in shape and, rather than being displaced toward the cell base, occupy a nearly central position in the cytoplasm, even in the storage phase of the secretory cycle. The mucous secretory granules are seen as membrane-limited inclusions, only rarely partially fused to each other. In both mucous and serous cells the Golgi cisterns have numerous large fenestrae which are aligned to form cytoplasmic channels which extend across the stack.

An autoradiographic study of the in-vivo incorporation of [3H]-palmitic acid into the dentine and enamel lipids of rat incisors, with a comparison of rapid-freezing freeze-substitution fixation and aldehyde fixation.

Four and twenty-four hours after injection of the labelled precursor, there were twice as many silver grains scored with the cryotechniques as with conventional fixation. Absence of labelled-band formation in dentine, the diffusion of silver throughout the entire thickness of dentine as well as the layer of forming enamel. This suggests that lipids are membrane-associated components rather than true matrix-associated components.
